The porn parody has become an art form by this point.  The porn industry has been taking pop culture and turning it into a porn for decades now.  Anytime something comes out and gains any kind of recognition you can bet it will be made fun of on Family Guy or South Park and eventually a porn will be made about it.  There has been hundred of porn parodies over the years that has gained just as much attention as the thing it was parodying.

However, one that I have heard about more than all the others was the sci-fi porn flick Flesh Gordon.  The film was so successful that it spawned a sequel which is something that the original source material was unable to do.  The director of that film, Howard Ziehm, would go on to direct several other porn flicks.  Vinegar Syndrome released the 1979 Star Virgin starring Kari Klark sometime ago and was kind enough to send a review copy my way.  Thanks guys!

**Spoiler Alert**The film follows a Star Virgin (Klark) who lives with a robot in space when one day she starts to become aroused.  She starts to question the robot about sex where he gives her several tales involving sex.  The first is a young couple who find themselves in the Garden of Eden.  The second is a vampire tale as Dracula finds himself a new bride, The third follows a quarterback who gets hurt in the big game and is out cold.  They take him to the locker room where two cheerleaders fuck him back to life.

The fourth tale follows a special strip club when men pay a price and gang bang the strippers.  The Star Virgin hears these stories and starts getting even more horny which results in the robot’s owners telling him to cool her down or he will be permanently shut down.**Spoiler Alert**

I was pretty excited to see this film after I heard it was directed by the same man that created the now iconicFlesh Gordon.  Though I had never seen Flesh Gordon I still had pretty high hopes for this sleazefest.  Sadly, it let me down.

The acting in this one is what you would expect from a porn flick.  The cast makes no effort at trying to deliver a solid performance.  They just spit out their dialogue in an attempt to speed the story up and start fucking.  I have seen so many sexploitation flicks before and the acting in this one is by far the worst.

The story for this one is pretty weak.  The wrap around story was pretty fucking cool and could have been a damn fine sci-fi based sexploitation flick but this segment was pretty short.  Instead it broken up segments that have nothing to do with the real story and was clearly filmed for another purpose before it was added to this story.  If they segment that was used as the film’s bookends was used in greater detail it would have been one hell of a film.

Finally, those of you that are looking for action (not sex action) or humor will greatly be disappointed.  The film lacks both which was a huge let down.  Overall, Star Virgin is a film that could have been just as amazing as Sexworld but was unable to hold it together.  The cast is pretty bad and the story is lacking but the film still deserves at least one watch.  Check it out but remember it has no replay value.
